Welcome to The List,
Jennifer Lopez has canceled her summer tour, citing a need to spend more time with, her, quote, “children, family, and close friends.” Then she and Ben Affleck were spotted together yesterday in Santa Monica. Let’s face it her tour wasn’t doing very well to begin with….

This week in country history: 1998 – George Strait wrapped up country music’s FIRST stadium tour. It featured Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, and the Dixie Chicks. 2019 – Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X performed “Old Town Road” with Keith Urban on guitar at the CMA Music Fest. It was at that time country music fans..said, “alright THAT’S enough” 2023 – Tanya Tucker became the first person to ride a horse onstage at the Opry. The real hero HERE is the guy following the horse with a scooper…

Lainey Wilson wants to get married and have kids. Life & Style Weekly quotes her as saying; “I plan on having kids, I plan on being married, but I will say, I like what Dolly [Parton] has done keeping some of her business to herself. I share a lot of my life and world with everybody, and I think it’s OK to keep something for yourself.”

If you loved Mr. Rogers growing up…Pluto TV is launching a “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” channel sometime this month. It’ll be a constant 24/7 stream of episodes, and it’s free.

The January Minuteman Printing & Graphics Pack the Backpack winner, is Skyler Stevenson – 9-12 Grade Agriculture Teacher @ East Marshall High School. She was nominated by Lonika Utterback, and here is what they wrote to Kix 101.1:
Ms. Steveson joined EMHS mid-year. She jumped right in and has been positive throughout her transition to a new school. She has been learning all of the student's names and the routines of the school. She has had to sort through a new classroom and curriculum. She had to make new lesson plans for 6 different agriculture classes all while being the FFA advisor as well. The students and staff have appreciated her greatly and are so thankful for her to have accepted this role. We would like to support her and help her adapt to EMHS as best we can!
On the last Wednesday of the month during the school year, we award $101 to a Kix Country classroom to help out with supplies. Nominate a Kix Country teacher today at Kixweb.com.
Welcome to The List,
Megan Moroney just proved she’s either the nicest person in country music… or she has zero bedtime. She told fans at her Meet Me on Cloud 9 pop-up show she’d sign something for every single person there. And she actually did it. CDs, vinyl, whatever you had, Megan stayed until the job was done. Meanwhile, if one person asks me for directions at Target, I fake a phone call and walk away.

Jelly Roll just announced his brand new tour and the name alone deserves a standing ovation. It’s called the ‘Little Ass Shed Tour’. Yes, that’s real. He just finished the Big Ass Stadium Tour with Post Malone, so now he’s downsizing… slightly. These “sheds” still pack in 10 to 15 thousand fans a night. So congrats Jelly, you’re officially too big for arenas, but still emotionally attached to lawn seating.

Travis Kelce might be taking a pay cut if he plays another NFL season. He made 17 million last year, but reports say next year could be closer to 13 million. Which means he may have to tighten the budget a little. Maybe fewer vacations, fewer commercials, and only one diamond-covered cereal commercial instead of two. Thoughts and prayers during this difficult financial hardship.

Tom Hanks is officially playing Abraham Lincoln in a new movie, and apparently it’s personal. Ancestry.com says Hanks is actually Lincoln’s 16th cousin. The movie will mix live action and stop motion animation, which sounds like Lincoln meets Toy Story. If Tom Hanks shows up in a top hat and says “There’s a snake in my boot,” I’m buying tickets.
